NANOBIOREMEDIATION: A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW ON ADVANCING OR ATTAINING SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS

This review paper provides an overview of the contribution of nanobioremediation to achieving sustainable environmental goals. Nanobioremediation is an emerging interdisciplinary field that integrates nanotechnology with bioremediation to tackle complex environmental contamination issues. Due to its unique properties, nanotechnology can potentially enhance bioremediation processes. Nanobioremediation leverages the synergy between biological processes and the properties of nanoparticles to facilitate the eradication of contaminants from the environment. This review explores the potential of nanobioremediation to advance sustainable environmental goals, including resource conservation, ecosystem restoration, and pollution management. Nanobioremediation offers a promising approach to mitigating environmental degradation by increasing the efficacy and regulation of traditional bioremediation techniques. It is essential to comprehensively evaluate the potential risks and long-term effects of nanomaterials on ecosystems and human health. As emphasized in this review, further evaluation of the safety, stability, biodegradability, and bioaccumulation potential of nanoparticles is crucial. Additionally, to ensure the secure and widespread application of nanobioremediation technologies, the development of regulations, standards, and guidelines is crucial.
